Percona Operator for MySQL based on Percona XtraDB Cluster 1.17.0 has been released

Try it out using the Quickstart guide.

This release provides the following features and enhancements:

Improved observability for HAProxy and ProxySQL with the ability to connect to their statistics pages.
Improved cluster load management during backups by queuing simultaneous backups if you disabled their parallel execution. You can fine-tune the queue by setting the start time for all backups or for a specific on-demand one using the spec.backup.startingDeadlineSeconds Custom Resource option.

Another improvement is in suspending backups when your cluster becomes unhealthy and resuming them when the cluster recovers. You can configure how long a backups remains suspended to offload your cluster even more. In this case, after the set time expires, the Operator marks a backup as failed.
Observability improvements:
- Monitor PMM Client health and status using Kubernetes probes added to a PMM Client container. Use the spec.pmm.readinessProbes.* and spec.pmm.livenessProbes.* Custom Resource options to fine-tune Readiness and Liveness probes.
- Get insights into the binlog performance by connecting to the <pitr-pod-service>:8080/metrics endpoint. Learn more about the available metrics in the documentation.
The spec.haproxy.exposePrimary.enabled field is deprecated. If enabled via the spec.haproxy.enabled, the HAProxy primary service is already exposed.
